Default Opening an explorer window with access

My goal here is to get access to open a folder that is related to the
current displayed record. For example, if the customer's last name is
Smith, i want the folder "//server01/jobphotos/Smith" to pop up when
you click the Job photos button.

So far this is all I have for it...

RetVal = Shell("explorer /e,/root, //server01/jobphotos/Smith")

This works on a one time basis, but i need it to be variable so it
bases the folder name on the last name of the contact record. Any help
would be greatly appriceated. Thanks
